Human Ken Doll tells Holly and Phil all about transgender reveal as she appears on This Morning
‘HUMAN Ken Doll’ is now living as a woman and has revealed she always felt like “Barbie”.
In an emotional interview Roddy Alves, 36, from Brazil, admitted she had “prayed for God to change her” as she “tried her best” to be a male.
The Celebrity Big Brother star, dubbed the Human Ken Doll, has spent more than £500,000 on plastic surgery but now admits she always identified more with Barbie rather than her male counterpart.
Speaking on This Morning she told Holly and Phil: “I have always been in touch with my feminine side.
“At the age of two I would always play with dolls, I would wear my mother’s dresses and shoes and they would try to stop me but then I would cry.
“But what I remember very clearly is that at the age of five, six and seven I didn’t know the difference between a boy and a girl and I only played with barbie dolls.
Roddy was born to a Catholic family and went to strict religious boarding school in Brazil.
She admitted she spent most of her time socialising with girls which left her a target to be bullied by the boys.
She said: “Due to my religion being catholic and going to a school like that I always prayed and I prayed for God to change me.”
After moving to London when she was 20 she decided she needed to “forget her feelings” and continue being a man.
That’s when she started her plastic surgery journey.
She said: “I tried my best to be a male I had a fake six pack put in, arms put in but I failed badly because I was never happy.
“I carried on having those plastic surgeries because actually I wanted to be a woman.”
After first revealing her hidden identity struggle she told she now “feels like the real me”.
She said: “It feels amazing to finally tell the world I’m a girl.
“I’m known as Ken but inside I’ve always felt like Barbie.”
